I would agree with you for the most part. Watching the Holyfield fight showed that George still had the power to hurt top heavyweights but the hand speed just wasn’t there in my opinion. Maybe George could have clipped him and finished him late like moorer because I think Holyfield had a better chin than Tyson.

Only notable fighter peak Tyson beat was Spinks, who was done with boxing and on the edge of retiring right before they offered him 13 million dollars for the match. He did it just to get paid and didn't follow his trainer's game plan (which were the same that would allow Buster Douglas to beat Tyson later)

[@NateS917]

@@golf-me2bh Tyson lost to Douglas because he fired Kevin Rooney the year before an account of don king poisoning his head. Also, if the Holmes fight doesn't count then neither does the holyfield or lewis fight, since Tyson was a decade past his prime and not the same fighter as the one before prison.

[@golf-me2bh]

@@NateS917 He was still an active fighter when he fought Holyfield and Lewis. Not retired. And certainly not out of shape. Holmes just came out of a two year retirement and took the Tyson fight on a six week notice, despite being overweight. He was out of shape and had no chance to condition himself properly. So it doesn't count. For the Holyfield fight, however, Holmes was once again an active fighter, so Holyfield's victory over Holmes does count. But Tyson's win over Holmes is as legitimate as McBride's win over Tyson.

[@NateS917]

@@golf-me2bh Tyson was fresh out of prison for the holyfield fight, so he had about the same amount of time to train as Holmes did. And by the time he fought lewis he was 37, so doesn't that mean holyfields and Lewis "win" doesn't count, going by your logic?

I train peek a boo and I can say and a LOT of others who know boxing will say that big George would’ve knocked Mike out unless Mike decided to fight a steady 12 round fight. George foreman’s style of pushing down and using his arms as sticks to push you into position of his punches is a NIGHTMARE for fighters that slip on the inside a lot and especially for fighters who mainly fight off the front foot. Tyson would’ve either been dropped two or three times and tko’d or it would’ve been a close 12 round fight where iron Mike might get wobbled but win unanimously. But the right trainer is needed. Before he went to prison, Emmanuel steward and his lawyer were going to contact Tyson regarding his promotional contract with don king which obviously would’ve let to Tyson finding out he’s being bummed for money and he’d either leave and join Kevin Rooney again or join Emmanuel steward and both would be way better than the crazy Italian he had from 94-98 or Freddie roach

👎 NO George not in Tysons Prime. He was way too fast.. Way too dangerous.

[@user-ec7jl4fg1p]

the words “tyson” and “prime” always end with someone saying something dumb. when don king told mike about the foreman fight tyson said “i’m not fighting that fucking animal. if you love the motherfucker so much, you fight him.” foreman’s style was built to destroy a pressure fighter watch what he did to joe frazier whos much more durable than mike.

George knew Tyson was scared of him, that's why George felt comforteble talking like this.

[@Respect12948]

Everyone’s arguing about who would win I personally think foreman is just too strong and would back Tyson into a corner or against the ropes and finish him round 4-5 but if someone disagrees then that’s fine the fight will never happen so it’s pointless to argue when you know that you’re not going to change your mind over what someone else tells you

Tyson would have destroyed that slow moving target. Not a good match up for foreman

It doesn't matter but I definitely think you are wrong on this one

[@lovesausage9113]

@@garyleetillman6772 even foreman later I'm interviews said he didn't want to fight him. His slow punching style and his crab defense wouldn't have worked against tyson. Tyson would have tee'd off on him. Of course foreman had enough power and knock out Tyson if he connected. But I don't think Tyson would stay close to him to find out. It would have been an interesting fight if it was young foreman. But old foreman, I don't think it would have lasted long. Be something like a larry homes situation.

Ppl don’t understand how one dimensional foreman really was. All he had was power in the lower left and right hooks. No footwork no head movement no speed no combos. Even when Ali fought him ali wasn’t dancing around like he usually does and was standing in front of foreman. Still handled business. Prime Mike vs prime foreman Tyson dancing all over foreman

[@aiyahuntacheimumbi236]

You are delusional and just showed you understand absolutely ZERO about Boxing if you think Foreman is one dimensional and has no footwork. A Prime George Foreman has the best pressure fighting footwork in Heavyweight history and that's undisputed by Boxing experts. In Ali's Autobiography he said George was so good and fast with his feet cutting the ring that he didn't know if he could stay away from George even in his own prime.

[@fitnessffinessed]

@@aiyahuntacheimumbi236 educate yourself on what a one dimensional fighter actually is before trying to act up and sound like a clown. Young foreman pivot stepping to cut off their footwork isn’t some elite footwork… he slowly applied pressure and once he was close enough all footwork went down the drain. Bc Ali already senile. In his fight with big fella he chose not to fly like a butterfly, he wanted to stand toe to toe with George but in the beginning ali was getting pieces up too much then Ali started bouncing around tiring George out and was able to take foreman’s hooks no problem even started talking to George. Ali could’ve won that fight easy. And Tyson a stronger faster more agile version of Ali sticking to his true style will dance all over that ring. Holyfield could’ve won too had he used footwork

[@aiyahuntacheimumbi236]

@@fitnessffinessed Tyson dance around the ring? Wtf are you talking about?? When have you ever seen Mike dance around the ring?? Loool And Ali was never senile.
